Abstract
A scanning device includes a scan unit with a polygon mirror, pre-scan optics and post-scan optics. The pre-scan optics are arranged upstream of the polygon mirror in such a way that a beam bundle coming from the light source impinges on the polygon mirror at an angle of incidence (α) in a cross scan plane, and the optical axis of the post-scan optics is arranged in a reflection direction of the polygon mirror. Distortions, trapezoidal distortion and scan bow, occurring when imaging the light source on a scan line are minimized in that the cylindrical mirror of the post-scan optics is tilted at a first tilt angle (β) relative to the surface normals to the polygon mirror in the cross scan plane, and one of the two corrective lenses of the post-scan optics is tilted relative to the optical axis of the post-scan optics at a second tilt angle (γ) and is arranged so as to be offset by a distance.
